Out Today: Mirror's Edge DLC Expansion

DICE is dropping seven new time trial maps for Mirror's Edge today. Available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC for $10 USD (or 800 Microsoft Points), the maps will house nine individual races. Funny quote from the press release:

"No guns, no cops, and no city: this is true aesthetics, agility and flow that will challenge any runner."

To hear some of my friends tell it (who've played a great deal more of Mirror's Edge than I have), the time trials were among the game's most successfully realized elements. Do you concur?

Incidentally, people who download the pack on PS3 will get one extra map.

Miguel says: Full disclosure: Mirror's Edge is still essentially in my '08 backlog -- I've only played the first couple of levels. It's kind of interesting to me that DICE's first attempt to iterate on the game involves stripping it down to its essentials. Is this a tacit admission that the guns, cops, and city impeded the simple joy of hauling ass? I'll wait till I've played more to commit either way. What do you think?
